I study the formation of criminal justice ideologies, and the effect of punitive ideology on voting behavior. 
I ask, mainly, how do people form preferences for criminal justice policy, how are these preferences affected by online media use?
I apply behavioral science approaches to the study of individuals' motivation to punish, and computational social science methods to explain digital media's effect on criminal justice discourse.

During my time in Tel-Aviv University Law School, I was the editor of the Law & Society Journal, and TA'd the required 1L Jurisprudence course, Evidence Law, and Family Law. I was a research assistance to several faculty members. After law school, I interned at the National Public Defense Office, where I participated in Supreme Court litigation and policy debates in the Israeli Ministry of Justice. 
In Berkeley, I got the Thesis fellowship to study in the LLM program, and the the Coblentz Civil Rights Endowment Fellowship. I wrote a thesis on discretionary parole under the guidance of professor Jonathan Simon. I was on the LL.M. Dean’s List at Berkeley Law.
After my LLM, I joined the JSP Ph.D. to study the politics of criminal justice from a behavioral science perspective. I participated in the ICPSR The Summer Institute in Survey Research Techniques, and received the Law, Economics, and Politics Center Research Fellowship to field a series of online experiments on criminal justice attitude formation.
I teach the Supreme Court and Public Policy course discussion sections, and I presented my work at various conferences and workshops, including APSA and LSA.
